[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son attended one of the private schools in DC few years ago, now he is at u Chicago and he said the courses are more manageable than his high school and not that bad and he goes a lot to downtown Chicago on weekends for fun and some sport events.
Great city !!

yes, Chicago is generally easier than high school for kids after Sidwell or NCS/STA.  These high schools are sweatshops (and I'm not saying this is a good thing--as a parent I think it's overkill)[/quote]

What a crock of absolute malarkey.  The average graduate of Sidwell or NCS/STA isn't even going to be accepted by Chicago, and the average test scores at the Chicago are much higher than the average scores at these high schools.  If they're "so hard," all that means is that the students are being loaded down with busy work, not academically challenging work that the typical Chicago student couldn't knock out of the park.[/quote]

I assumed PP meant the kids who went to Sidwell or NCS/STA and THEN ATTEND Chicago.  These are smart kids.[/quote]
